Give the Gift of College Savings

College savings is an extraordinary gift – but it's tough to wrap. If you'd like to have something for the child to physically open, these printable gift certificates are a great option. Plus it lets them know you’re invested in their future success!

Every little gift can help.

No matter the child's interests, 529 plan savings can be used to help pay for the things they'll need. 529s can be used for many higher education expenses at a variety of institution types—not just the typical 4-year college.

This website has been developed by Ascensus College Savings Recordkeeping Services, LLC ("ACRS") and its affiliates. For more information about 529 plans managed or administered by ACRS and its affiliates, call 1.877.529.2980.

Before investing in any 529 plan, you should consider whether your or the designated beneficiary's home state offers a 529 plan that provides its taxpayers with state tax and other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in the state's 529 plan. You also should consult your financial, tax, or other advisor to learn more about how state-based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. You also may wish to contact directly your home state's 529 plan(s), or any other 529 plan, to learn more about those plans' features, benefits and limitations. Keep in mind that state-based benefits should be one of many appropriately weighted factors to be considered when making an investment decision.

Investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information are included in a 529 plan's offering statement; read and consider it carefully before investing.

When you invest in a 529 plan you are purchasing municipal securities whose value will vary with market conditions. Investment returns are not guaranteed, and you could lose money by investing in a 529 plan. Account owners assume all investment risks as well as responsibility for any federal and state tax consequences.

An account in a 529 plan is controlled by the account owner. Your gift contribution may have gift tax consequences or other tax implications. Please consult your tax advisor.
